Story
Sealed capsule and long cable
Mayday Outdoor is a multipurpose luminaire by Konstantin Grcic with a watertight capsule around the LED source and a 6 metre cable. Grcic conceived the Mayday lamp as a functional tool, and its sturdy build and long cable make it highly portable.
Recognition
The Mayday lamp won the Compasso d'Oro in 2001, and its name refers both to the distress call and to the optimism of spring.
